More about the artist
Markus Nass (German, b.1979)
Markus
Nass, a recent graduate from the Staatliche Akademie der Bildendende Künste
Karlsruhe, has developed a highly individual painterly style. Choosing to work
with synthetic materials, Nass adds pigment to epoxy resin, which he then pours
onto an acrylic surface. The clear, jewel-like colours are carefully chosen for
the ways in which, combined and intermingled, they produce harmonies and
dissonances, surface and depth, light and dark. Nass plans a basic structure
for each work at the beginning of the production process but a central aspect
of his approach is to allow the different colours to flow together, creating
myriad layers. The resulting forms suggest birds-eye views of landscapes, cell
structures or underwater realms. However, the transparent glow and otherworldly
character of Nass' work ensures that the intimations of reality are always
balanced with purely abstract elements. Ultimately, Nass' work is a
self-reflective investigation of colour, light and form, the very fundamentals
of art. Written
